Mount and Blade: Summon five outlaws at the start

Chapter 191

However, at this critical moment, a burst of rapid horse hoof sounds suddenly came from the hillside not far away.

Some young and strong herdsmen instinctively turned their heads to look, and saw three Kuyel riders galloping towards them, waving their arms and shouting something loudly.

Hearing this familiar voice, several of the young and strong herdsmen hesitated, and one of them responded loudly in Kuyel language.

This response seemed to give the three Kuyel riders a shot of cardiac stimulant, and their shouts instantly became louder and louder.

As the distance got closer and closer, the voices of the three Kuyel riders gradually became clearer. After hearing them, the young and strong herdsmen who were originally ready to fight to the death hesitated for a while, and slowly put down their weapons.

Despite this, they still had doubts and uneasiness in their hearts, exchanging glances with each other, and after hesitating for a moment, someone finally turned over and got off the horse.

When the three Kuyel riders rushed to the front, they immediately explained loudly in Kuyel language.

For a moment, the noisy voices intertwined, making it difficult to hear the specific content. Time passed by minute by minute, and after a long while, someone's face finally began to relax gradually.

At the same time, the crossbowmen of Valandia, who had quietly gathered around at some point, put down their light crossbows when they saw that the situation had eased.

However, the vigilance in their eyes did not decrease, and they still stared at the group of armed herdsmen.

At this time, Hod rode slowly on a horse, surrounded by a group of robber leaders such as Nott, with a gentle smile on his face.

He got off the horse neatly, pushed Nott who wanted to stop him aside, and walked straight towards a sturdy and muscular young herdsman.

This move immediately aroused the vigilance of all the young herdsmen, but the three Kuyel riders shouted loudly, which made them let down their guard.

When Hod approached, he stretched out his palm and gently patted the strong and broad chest of the herdsman. At the same time, he raised the corner of his mouth and praised generously: "So strong! He is really a warrior!"

As soon as the voice fell, Hod reached out to untie the sword tied at his waist, and with a smile, handed the long sword to the strong herdsman.

At this moment, whether it was the robbers or the crossbowmen recruited by Valandia, all of them widened their eyes, and their faces showed unconcealed envy.

After seeing this scene, the three Kuyel riders looked at each other, and then came to the side of the strong herdsman, whispering something in a low voice.

After a while, something surprising happened. The young herdsman's face, which was originally angry, suddenly became excited, and his eyes shone.

Then, he raised his right hand holding the long sword without hesitation, and cut a deep wound on the palm of his hand.

In an instant, the blood gushed out, splashing in the air to form a blood mist, but he seemed to feel nothing, still firmly holding up the bleeding right hand, and then slowly bent his left knee, kneeling on one knee to pay respect to Hod.

Hod, who had been observing silently, saw the actions of the young herdsman, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

However, it didn't take long for him to quickly figure out the deep meaning behind this behavior.

The herdsman's actions should mean his absolute loyalty and submission to the gifter.

As expected, the young herdsman carefully hung the blood-stained long sword on his waist, and then straightened his body, with an extremely proud look on his face, and strode to Hod's side.

At this moment, he seemed to have completely separated from his former companions and became a loyal follower of Hod.

The scene in front of him made Huo De happy, and he couldn't help but look at the three Kuyel riders who surrendered first.

The three Kuyel riders keenly noticed the subtle changes in Huo De's eyes, and in an instant, an inexplicable pressure was pressed on their hearts.

The three of them looked at each other, then gritted their teeth, immediately pulled out their weapons from their waists, quickly cut a wound on their right hands, and then knelt on the ground.

Huo De saw this, and then slowly retracted his sight, and the three Kuyel riders also breathed a sigh of relief.

The other young and strong herdsmen around saw all of this.

They first turned their heads to look at the relatives who had been captured in the open space dozens of steps away.

After confirming that no one was hurt, these young and strong herdsmen exchanged glances with each other, and then followed the same example.With the action of his companion, he cut off his right hand with the sharp blade in his hand and knelt in front of Huo De.

For a moment, the air was filled with a strong smell of blood.

After completing this action, these young and strong herdsmen who were previously full of grief and anger seemed to have changed into different people.

The original grief and despair on their faces instantly dissipated, and was replaced by the kind of relieved expression after finding a solid support.

There were a total of seventeen young and strong herdsmen who made the gesture of loyalty, plus the three Kuyer riders who surrendered at the beginning, exactly twenty people.

This situation greatly expanded Huo De's originally small cavalry team, and the number of people increased to twenty-six!

In this way, the strength of his entire team has undoubtedly improved significantly.

Facing these herdsmen who have sworn allegiance to him, Huo De naturally would not attack them again. He came here to expand his cavalry team. Now that he has perfectly achieved his goal, he has no desire to take action.

Then, Hod gave Jeff an order to lead a group of people to collect all the available resources in the village.

Whether it is food, livestock, horses, etc., nothing can be left out.

After receiving the order, Jeff acted quickly and arranged people to collect.

After sorting out all the useful materials in the village, Hod immediately ordered everyone, including the elderly, weak, women and children, to ride on horses and get on the car, and then evacuate the place as quickly as possible.

He knew very well that if he continued to stay here, he would increase the chance of being discovered by other Kuyel tribes.

Once discovered, it is likely to be surrounded and eventually annihilated, so leaving this place as soon as possible is the wisest choice.

Half an hour after Hod and his party evacuated, a team of Kuyel riders appeared here.

A Kuyel rider jumped off the horse directly, rushed into the village quickly, checked it, and whispered to the leader.

The leader looked up at the messy village, and then his eyes fell on the wheel marks on the ground.

He estimated the number of opponents on horseback, and immediately gave up the pursuit, and led the other riders to run towards the direction of Milda Castle.
